About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by the triple peaks of South Bald Mountain, Middle Bald Mountain, and North Bald Mountain. The 1967 field-checked data captures a remote high-country environment where water management and ranching coexist with the wilderness. The North Fork Cache la Poudre River winds through the northern sections, supported by man-made infrastructure like the Mitchell Ditch and Bellaire Ditch.

Isolated outposts such as Black Mtn Ranch and Painted Post Ranch mark the limited human footprint in this part of Larimer County. A network of primitive transport routes, including the Deadman Road and the North Lone Pine Trail (Pack), provides insight into how this terrain was navigated before modern accessibility. The presence of high-altitude landmarks like Prospect and Lake Erie further emphasizes the unique geography of the Front Range during the mid-20th century.
